When the game does release in what feels like ages and ages from now XD what will be your choice as a consumer? Will there be perks for going one way and not the other? I seem to remember my copy of Origins disc set (what I'm calling the hard copy) having the Shale DLC come with it as a sort of perk. Did the downloaded version have this too?

Forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology! XD

'Physical' download?

[Ghostjs]

I'll buy a physical copy, because i will probably get the collectors edition and i like the items they come with( especially books). Plus i have never been a fan of digital art books

If I don't get a hard copy, how will I be able to take in that glorious new game smell?

[Conduit0]

I'll be buying a physical copy of the game. I like being able to actually hold things in my hand, so I usually only buy digital if I can get a really good deal.

[Maria Caliban]

Hard.

If there is a female Dwarf companion: Physical Disc Collectors edition etc etc. Most expensive one.
If there are female Dwarves: I will buy the game
If there are no female Dwarves: I will not buy the game

Very simple

Well, you certainly have your priorities set.

I'd like to know what a physical download is, but I'll probably take the hard copy. I like having a disk. Feels like I actually have something, you know?

Depends on wether or not my computer can handle it. If it can digital. If it cant ill be getting it for the console, physical.

Isn't "physical download" an oxymoron?

[Zjarcal]

I don't buy hard copies of games anymore... if the me from 5 years ago would read that, lol, I'd be flipping.

I'd much rather have the box. My laptop can barely handle Mass Effect on the crap settings, and I prefer my games to look pretty, so the PS3 will be the way to go. Unless I can manage to build up a new machine by then, then I might switch back to PC gaming again. I'd still prefer the actual boxed game, but PC or PS depends on my hardware at the time.

Physical copy, install on hd.

Hm, come to think of it all of my game purchases lately have been digital downloads, except for Wii games. I just like that instant gratification of being able to play that game I'll never actually play for months, right away. And I can buy it on a whim without ever setting foot in a game or electronics shop.

Online retailers are very sneaky.

I just don't like the fact you pay the same price for a digital copy as you do for a physical copy, despite the fact that there is only a fraction of the cost involved with the digital version.
So they're making a larger profit off of me while effectively offering me less. <_<

Honestly, I don't see the benefit of a physical copy these days, at least on PC. Almost all AAA games require you to register you copy on Steam, Origin or Uplay anyway, might as well buy them there. And nothing beats getting recent games for very little money during a Steam sale.

That said, the very few console games I own on PS3 (even though I play 95% of the time on PC, there are a few games the PC is missing, like Dragon's Dogma, so I get them on console), are all physical copies. I guess it's because console games are tradeable, so the physical copy has some value. On PC everything is bound to your steam/Origin account as soon as you register your copy, it's devaluated and simply takes up shelf space.

I'm a sucker for hard-copies of games. I like the feeling of the disc, blast it.

What a physical download might look like

[Vit246]

I always try to get a hard copy whenever possible. Something tangible. Something I can feel in my hands.

[Raydiva]

I prefer hard copies, but I might go digital since my gaming wall is a little on the full side. Shessh...I really should get rid of some of those PS1 games.

[Dhiro]

Why play a game if it's not

hard?

[PsychoBlonde]

It's a tossup for me, because my general priority is how quickly I can get to playing on release day. I don't shop at brick-and-mortar stores for games any more (largely because the only ones around here are crap, that and I don't have a car), so I'll be at the mercy of the UPS's belief that lazily delivering it around 5pm is plenty good enough. Whereas if I get a digital copy, I can have it pre-loaded and ready to run at 00:01 on The Day. Assuming the servers aren't fubared. Which happened to me with the BG: EE. I was not pleased.

I really don't see why it has to be one or the other. Why can't they let you pre-download if you purchase a physical copy? All you're REALLY buying is that activation key--the license, right? So why don't they distribute the *keys* on release day and pre-distribute the hard and downloadable copies?

Yes, somebody will hack it and figure out a way to play a couple of days early. That's going to happen anyway, so who cares. May as well be accommodating to the rest of us.

Hell, ME3 physical copies didn't even have a manual, right?
